Saw it on the news......anybody know anything about it? Looked like a low-wing.

It was a piper I believe on an Angel Flight mission into PWK. Had engine trouble and put it down in Vernon Hills, north of the airport. No damage, no injuries.

Glad to hear nobody was hurt.

It was a C-150, ran out of fuel, landed in Buffalo Grove. Plane belonged to Palwaukee flyers. No serious injuries, just a broken wrist. Instructor and student on board.

It was a low wing on the news last night.........looked like it had minimal damage.

oh, did not realize that it was last night as well, the 150 just went down near the VOR a few days ago, I apologize for the confusion. here is the link

Palwaukee Flyers had one of those ratty 150's go down the other day?

That place is trouble.

see the last post in the thread, I posted some pics that a friend sent me because someone (Jim???) said that none of this was true and he was just flying the plane from Palwaukee Flyers that crashed.

What I don't understand is why anybody would use, rent, associate or park anywhere near that dump when Windy City Flyers is right next door. What are people thinking? That place should have been 86th along time ago, the owner must be connected.
